Tiny and Ruby: Hell Divin' Women is a unique documentary that weaves together the stories of jazz musicians Tiny Davis and Ruby Lucas. The film captures the vibrant atmosphere of their lives and careers, with a focus on their contributions to jazz. The pacing feels almost lyrical, enhanced by poetry from Cheryl Clarke that ties the visuals together. You get a sense of not just their music but their struggles and triumphs as women in a male-dominated industry. It’s more than just a history lesson; it’s a celebration of resilience, creativity, and the power of art. If you appreciate raw performances and a documentary style that feels personal, this one's definitely interesting.
